I'm all about being prudent, Steve.

IFR and icing conditions are no-play zones, IMHO. "Gooder enough" doesn't cut it. Either one has the proper equipment as laid out based on years and years of experience or one doesn't, IMHO.

Not all rules are meant to be broken.

That's why I'm firmly in the Very Nice Day VFR only world of flying, where one wing over the centerline on landing counts as precision enough.
